'It is highly regrettable that it takes a fatality to get the attention of TfL'

At this early stage it is understood the blue coloured articulated lorry, reg. KE54 JCX, was turning left into St Pancras Way when it collided with the cyclist, who was on its nearside (passenger side).

Liberal Democrat councillor and Camden cycling champion Paul Braithwaite said the junction was a well-known blackspot and called on Transport for London (TfL) to take action to make it safer.

He said: “Camden Council has been pressing TfL for years to do something about this particular junction. It is a racetrack for lorries and cyclists often get caught out. It is highly regrettable that it takes a fatality to get the attention of TfL.”
